Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to column tray-type gas-liquid contact devices associated with chemical separation (e.g., rectification, absorption, and/or steam stripping) within a plate column.
  • chemical separation e.g., rectification, absorption, and/or steam stripping
  • Column tray-type gas-liquid (also called "vapor-liquid”) contact devices associated with chemical separation may be applied to fields such as oil refining, petrochemical industry, chemical industry, coal chemical industry, and environmental protection.
  • chemical separation e.g., rectification, absorption, and/or steam stripping
  • the column tray technology of chemical separation has been applied for decades, and column trays are gas-liquid contact devices that are widely applied during chemical separation such as rectification and absorption.
  • column trays In a general plate column (also called “tray column” or “trayed column”), column trays (also referred to as “column plates”) are used as basic components for gas-liquid contact. Gas and liquid phases flow in a crossing manner (also referred to as “a crossflow manner") on a column tray, while the gas and liquid phases in a column are operated in a reflux manner level by level. The liquid phase enters a downcomer in an overflow form before flowing onto a next column tray. Each column tray includes three parts: a downcomer, a liquid receiving tray, and a bubbling region (also called “bubbling area").
  • a column tray may be classified as a single-overflow column tray, a double-overflow column tray, a three-overflow column tray, a four-overflow column tray, a six-overflow column tray, or a multi-overflow column tray.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the flowing of gas and liquid phases in a three-overflow column tray (where a multi-bubbling region column tray is adopted, and 4 column trays are shown in the figure) in related art.
  • the column trays are multi-bubbling region column trays, and each column tray includes three bubbling regions 1, a side downcomer 200 (located along a perimeter of the column tray on one or two sides of the column tray), and a non-side downcomer 300 (which may be a center downcomer located in the center of the column tray and/or a waist downcomer located at a position other than along the perimeter or at the center of the column tray).
  • FIG. 2 shows a typical non-side downcomer in the related art, which is referred to as a "hanging downcomer” (also called “truncated downcomer”) and characterized in that it includes a bottom plate 400 provided with openings (elongated openings 500) for liquid to flow downward.
  • the advantage of the hanging downcomer is that the liquid receiving tray below the downcomer may also be used as a bubbling region (the design of the liquid receiving tray is omitted in this case). In this way, the area of the bubbling region is increased, thereby improving the processing capability of the column tray.
  • each bubbling region 1 liquid flows downward from an upper downcomer, transversely through the bubbling region, and into a downcomer on another side after being mixed with the gas moving vertically upward.
  • Each non-side downcomer receives liquid flowing downward from two bubbling regions 1 above the non-side downcomer, and, at the bottom of the non-side downcomer, divides the liquid into two bubbling regions 1 below the non-side downcomer. If the non-side downcomer in FIG. 1 adopts the structure of the hanging downcomer in the related art shown in FIG. 2 , after liquid flows to a lower column tray from the bottom part of the non-side downcomer, the liquid freely and randomly flows toward the left and right sides. Because of the free and random flowing, flow distribution on the left and right sides cannot be actively controlled, resulting in large randomness and uncertainty.
  • each column tray includes three bubbling regions.
  • liquid-gas ratios ratios of the amount of liquid to the amount of gas
  • the efficiency of the column tray can be maximized only if the liquid in the non-side downcomer is distributed according to a proportion of gas flowing through the bubbling regions on the two sides.
  • existing multi-bubbling region column trays presently used in the industry have adopted a hanging downcomer, they still have not achieved the function of active liquid distribution.
  • the liquid-gas ratios of the bubbling regions on the two sides of the bottom part of a non-side downcomer cannot be guaranteed to be substantially similar to each other or be the same, leading to an efficiency loss and wastes.
  • the present invention provides a plate column having the features of claim 1, to resolve at least one of the existing technical problems.
  • the partition plate is perpendicular to the bottom plate and is located at a middle position below the bottom plate.
  • the one or more second openings and the one or more third openings are provided on the bottom plate, the liquid flowing out from the one or more second openings is located on a left side of the partition plate, and the liquid flowing out from the one or more third openings is located on a right side of the partition plate.
  • the at least one hanging downcomer includes a vertical cross-section shaped as a rectangle, a trapezoid, or steps.
  • the partition plate comprises a slot extending in a direction parallel to the bottom plate at a position that is in the proximity of the bottom plate.
  • the bottom plate is provided with a partition plate extending in a vertical direction at a tip of the V-shaped bottom plate.
  • a bubbling device is arranged on the bubbling regions, and the bubbling device includes at least one of a sieve, a tongue hole, a fixed valve, or a float valve.
  • a bubble promotor located below the at least one hanging downcomer is arranged on the bubbling regions, and the bubble promotor includes a closed top part so as to allow gas to flow out only from a side surface.
  • the respective shapes of the one or more second openings comprise at least one of the following: a circle hole, a rectangle hole, or an ellipse hole; and the respective shapes of the one or more third openings comprise at least one of the following: a circle hole, a rectangle hole, or an ellipse hole.
  • a number and an area of the one or more second openings are determined according to a liquid distribution proportion, and a number and an area of the one or more third openings are determined according to the liquid distribution proportion.
  • respective diameters of the at least two multi-bubbling region column trays, a number of bubbling devices mounted on the at least two multi-bubbling region column trays, a number and respective areas of the bubbling regions, and a number of bubbling devices and a gas channel area corresponding to each of the bubbling regions are determined according to a total gas flow on the at least two multi-bubbling region column trays, a total liquid flow on the at least two multi-bubbling region column trays, a physical property of the gas, and a physical property of the liquid.
  • a liquid distribution proportion in each of the at least one hanging downcomer is determined according to a correspondence between the at least one hanging downcomer and the bubbling regions, and respective numbers and areas of the one or more second openings and the one or more third openings are further determined based on the liquid distribution proportion in each of the at least one hanging downcomer.
  • orientation or position relationships indicated by terms such as “center”, “longitudinal”, “horizontal”, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, and “outer” are based on the orientation or position relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are used only for ease and brevity of illustration and description of the present disclosure, rather than indicating or implying that the mentioned apparatus or components need to have a particular orientation or need to be constructed and operated in a particular orientation. Therefore, such terms should not be construed as limiting of the present disclosure.
  • connection may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; or a connection may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; or a connection may be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediary, or an internal connection between two components.
  • a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features not being in direct contact but being contacted by other features therebetween.
  • a first feature being “over”, “above”, and “on” a second feature includes the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or means that a horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature.
  • a first feature being “below”, “under”, or “underneath” a second feature includes the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or means that a horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a multi-bubbling region column tray according to the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3 , four multi-bubbling region column trays are staggered so that liquid passing through (or flowing through) a downcomer from an upper column tray may fall onto a bubbling region on a lower column tray.
  • all or a subset of the multi-bubbling region column trays include at least two bubbling regions 1 (e.g., there may be two, three, or more bubbling regions) and at least one non-side downcomer (e.g., there may be one, two, or more non-side downcomers).
  • the non-side downcomer includes at least one hanging downcomer 2 (in FIG. 3 , each column tray includes a hanging downcomer 2, and the bottom parts 3 of the hanging downcomers may be structurally different, where bottom plates 31 of the two upper column trays are V-shaped, and bottom plates 31 of the two lower column trays are flat and each provided with a partition plate 32).
  • all non-side downcomers may adopt the structure design of hanging downcomer 2.
  • regions corresponding to liquid receiving trays on the multi-bubbling region column tray may be all designed as bubbling regions, to improve the processing capability of the column tray.
  • At least two bubbling regions 1 may be provided with first openings 10 for liquid and gas to be mixed and in contact with each other.
  • first openings 10 liquid and gas are mixed and in contact with each other. Gas then continues to move toward an upper column tray, while liquid flows downward from a downcomer (a side downcomer or a non-side downcomer) on another side.
  • bottom part 3 of hanging downcomer 2 includes one or more second openings 21 allowing liquid to flow toward a lower left side, and one or more third openings 22 allowing liquid to flow toward a lower right side.
  • Bottom part 3 of hanging downcomer 2 is designed to separate (isolate, split, or divide) the liquid flowing out from the one or more second openings 21 and the liquid flowing out from the one or more third opening 22.
  • a common characteristic of hanging downcomer 2 in FIG. 3 is in that the structure design of bottom part 3 (which is described in greater detail below) allows the liquid flowing out from the one or more second openings 21 and the liquid flowing out from the one or more third opening 22 to be separated from each other (completely or substantially).
  • the flow distribution on the left and right sides may be actively controlled, thereby preventing liquid from directly flowing downward from the bottom part and then freely and randomly flowing toward the left and right sides as in FIG. 1 (because the liquid is not separated or isolated). Therefore, the foregoing technical solution provided by the present disclosure may avoid the problem where the flow distribution on the left and right sides cannot be actively controlled if liquid freely and randomly flows toward the left and right sides as in the related art.
  • a liquid-gas ratio (namely, a ratio of the amount of liquid to the amount of gas) of a bubbling region on the lower left side corresponding to the one or more second openings 21 is the same as or substantially similar to (e.g., if an absolute value of a difference between two liquid-gas ratios is less than 10%, the liquid-gas ratios may be considered substantially similar in this case) as a liquid-gas ratio of a bubbling region on the lower right side corresponding to the one or more third opening 22.
  • the multi-bubbling region column tray may achieve ideal separation efficiency, thereby avoiding efficiency losses and wastes.
  • a ratio of an area (also referred to as an "opening area”) occupied by the one or more second openings 21 to an area (also referred to as an "opening area") occupied by the one or more third openings 22 is substantially similar to (e.g., if an absolute value of a difference between two ratios is less than 10%, the ratios may be considered substantially similar in this case) or the same as a ratio of a gas channel area of the bubbling region on the lower left side to a gas channel area of the bubbling region on the lower right side.
  • the "gas channel area” in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to an area of a gas channel corresponding to a bubbling device on the bubbling region.
  • the liquid-gas ratio of the bubbling region on the lower left side corresponding to the one or more second openings 21 may be substantially to or the same as the liquid-gas ratio of the bubbling region on the lower right side corresponding to the one or more third openings 22.
  • the respective areas of the bubbling regions on two sides of the non-side downcomer may be different.
  • the amounts of gas respectively flowing through the bubbling regions on the two sides may also be different.
  • the efficiency of the column tray may be maximized if the liquid in the non-side downcomer is distributed according to a proportion of the amount of gas flowing through the bubbling regions on the two sides. For example, in a propylene column, the efficiency may be increased by 5% to 20% if the multi-bubbling region column tray according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is adopted.

  • an angle between partition plate 32 and an upright direction may be less than 45°.
  • partition plate 32 is perpendicular to bottom plate 31 and is located at a middle position below bottom plate 31.
  • the entire structure may be more symmetrical and coordinated, and easy to design and manufacture.
  • partition plate 32 adopts a design of being perpendicular to the bottom plate and located at a middle position, it is easy to calculate and simulate flowing states of the liquid on the left and right sides.
  • partition plate 32 has a lower part which is in contact with the other multi-bubbling region column tray located on the lower side. If the lower part of partition plate 32 is in contact with the other multi-bubbling region column tray located on the lower side, an optimal effect of separating liquid on two sides may be achieved, which better helps with actively controlling the flow distribution on the left and right sides.
  • hanging downcomer 2 has a vertical cross-section (a cross-section of partition plate 32 is omitted in this case), which may be in the shape of a rectangle (marked as "example 1").
  • the angle between partition plate 32 and the vertical direction in FIG. 4 may be 10°, and the vertical height of partition plate 32 may be 100 mm.

  • the flows on the left and right sides may be distributed by adopting the above shapes for the cross-sections of hanging downcomers 2 and having the structure design of partition plate 32.
  • FIG. 7 shows another variant embodiment (which is marked as "example 4").
  • partition plate 32 e.g., which may have a vertical height of 150 mm

  • a position of a lower edge of slot 33 is higher than a liquid level at the position, so that the liquid on the left and right sides is separated.
